Detailed information

Itâs good that we have memorials such as this; the many British railway people who built, equipped and operated railways all around the world are just as much a part of our railway history as those who worked for the Lanky or GW. Malcolm Bulpitt writes from the garden of England : Staplehurst Station on the Tonbridge-Ashford line in Kent has a memorial in its main circulating space to a Southern Railway junior clerk and a Royal Belgian Air Force pilot. They both died when the Belgianâs âHurricaneâ (he had escaped the invasion of his country and was flying for the RAF) was shot down in the Battle of Britain and unfortunately crashed onto the old Victorian SER wooden structure. It was the 1980s before BR got around to replacing the wartime temporary building and when the memorial was introduced.
